Some of the world’s greatest and most useful people have suffered a physical handicap. Helen Keller was not born blind and deaf, but at nineteen months of age she came down with an illness that caused it.

On September 14, 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson awarded Helen Keller the Presidential Medal of Freedom, one of the United States’ highest civilian honors.
